Europe wants to draw the US into the Ukraine war to weaken the US, I suspect dems in the US are collaborating with EU elitists to weaken Trump by dragging him into the conflict. I suspect that Putin is being careful not to cross certain lines to avoid direct US involvement. The thing is, the EU doesn't have the capability or stomach to fight a real war with Putin. Putin, already suffering from his own stupidity and ego, now knows that he is in a mess and, if given a path that doesn't embarrass him too much, would take the exit ramp. Ukraine is NEVER going to get everything back that it had before the war started unless Russia is thoroughly defeated and THAT is why they need the US to engage, because only we have the capacity to defeat Russia. Trump wants NONE of Ukraine and the EU's mess and will continue to tighten the screws on Zelensky and ignore the EU. The ONLY acceptable outcome is the Peace talks. Ukraine and the EU could blow those up, but then they will face a dead end because Trump has made it clear that ongoing war is NOT in the US' interest.

Maybe the US status of "Isolationist" is not such a bad thing after all. When you choose the wrong side in a war you always come out with your hands bloody and your reputation sullied. We always seem to choose the wrong side. Let Europe, Asia, Africa and South America fight their own wars.

The left and their media tout Europe's socialism. Does anyone believe they could afford all of their socialist programs if they had to pay for them? We have subsidized Europe through tariffs, foreign aid and NATO since WWII Mr. Hegseth, how much do our forces in Europe cost taxpayers? There will not be a conventional war with Russia; Ukraine has demonstrated that. Bring our troops home and let the Eurooeans deal with their own defense

It is time to redraw the borders of nations in Europe once again. Crimea and Novorussiya for Russia and recognized by treaty by the United Nations Security Council. Ukraine did put up a fight for Odessa and it seems Putin is unable to take it. European Union has 450 million people with a MUCH higher standard of living than ours (just go visit) yet want our blood and treasure. This is not our war, Just walk away.

Former Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown and wife Connie Schultz are no longer Clevelanders. [Snip] Senator Brown lost his bid for a fourth term in the U.S. Senate to Republican Bernie Moreno. He made it clear when he left office in December that he wants to continue in politics. “Sherrod and I thought it was time for a change. Like so many of you, we are rallying for the work ahead. This move will anchor us,” said Schultz. [Snip] While Brown has yet to announce his next move--being in Columbus could be strategic if he decides to run for governor in 2026.

Federal judges are not supposed to criticize the president of the United States other than in official opinions deciding cases in which the president is a party. [Snip] The Constitution makes clear that Congress must occasionally exercise the political courage necessary to perform its constitutional duty of impeaching federal judges who seek to rewrite the law rather than interpret it. [Snip] As unsettling as the impeachment process may sometimes seem, the Constitution requires that it be sometimes used. President William Howard Taft,...later its chief justice,..."Make your judges responsible. Impeach them. Impeachment of a judge would be a very healthful thing in these times."

Take that, little cop cancer kid! The Democrats sure showed him! No applause for you. How dare you be celebrated by the country when the president pointed you out from the lectern. Yeah, they showed him. They showed Donald Trump. They showed us all! [Snip] Their campaign to keep from normalizing Donald Trump has worked, but not exactly how they thought it would. They showed us that they’re not normal, that they’re weirdos, that they’re pretty much insane. Or that they are stupid. Sometimes, stupid and insanity are hard to differentiate.

In a statement released on the day of his abruptly canceled confirmation hearing, Dr. Dave Weldon, President Trump’s initial nominee to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said concerns that Big Pharma was behind the subversion were “probably true.” “They are hands-down, the most powerful lobby organization in Washington DC giving millions of dollars to politicians on both sides of the aisle,” he wrote. [Snip] Weldon believes these two objections killed his shot at being CDC director. He has forever been tarnished as an “anti-vaxxer” despite his insistence that he just wants solid, unbiased research done on the safety of vaccines.

A major survey on the religious landscape of America was just released by Pew Research Center, and what it reveals about the decline of Christianity should alarm every American, whether or not one is Christian. ...if America loses the Christian faith from which our system of government is derived, we will lose everything that makes America what it is. All of the rights and freedoms we enjoy, the rule of law, the checks and balances on government power, all of that will disappear. [Snip] The practice of the Christian faith is deteriorating as well.

The Department of Justice was persecuting Donald Trump with sham trials just last year. But today, now-President Trump spoke at the DOJ, calling out the “communist” federal persecution of conservatives. “They tried to turn America into a corrupt communist and Third World country, but in the end, the thugs failed and the truth won. Freedom won, justice won, democracy won, and above all, the American people won,” Trump said. “There could be no more heinous betrayal of American values than to use the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the wicked.”

At the end of this week, Jews around the world will celebrate the holiday of Purim. The annual commemoration of the divine salvation from extermination has a special resonance this year. Haman, the Purim story’s central villain, the Persian Empire’s grand vizier, descended from the Amalekite peoples, has traditionally served as a stand-in for contemporary villains like Hitler, Stalin...as well as Hamas and other Islamic Jihadists. [Snip] There is much that Israel could have learned and still can learn from King David’s approach to hostage negotiations. The first thing is to eliminate moral doubt about its rightness through faith.

Long before Donald Trump berated Ukrainian president Volodymir Zelenskyy, the president has been criticized for his lack of decorum, manners, politesse, and political “norms.” [Snip] But complaints about manners and proper behavior generally reflect the mores and sensibilities of privileged elites...all policed by professional and political guilds. ...tools for silencing rival factions’ free speech rights... [Snip] We’ve seen this dynamic for over a decade... [Snip] ...in the case of Trump, ...subjectivity and hurt feelings are not as important as good policy predicated on the Constitution and its central purpose--to protect our political freedom and equality, the two major bulwarks against tyranny.

A LifeSiteNews reporter told former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on Tuesday that Catholics are urging the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) for the mishandling of massive funds from the government for the resettlement of “refugees.” [Snip] “They’ve received hundreds of millions of dollars. Supposedly that all goes to the resettlement of illegal immigrants. But in the midst of all that, supposedly 300,000 children are just missing." [Snip] Catholic NGOs, including the USCCB, received nearly $3 billion in federal funding for immigration-related activities during the Biden years, according to recent reports.

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Source” that every American should be frightened because President Donald Trump did not “respect our Constitution.” Sanders said, “Look, you know, the guys who wrote the Constitution back in the 1790s when nobody’s fools, what they wanted to do is have a separation of powers between the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary so that one person could not assume enormous power. And what you are seeing right now is a president who is authoritarian. He just attacked the media the other day. I think he called CNN illegal because I gather that now and then, you criticize him.

Somehow, Tim Walz just keeps getting weirder.

With Harris still out there, presumably about to run for Governor of California, I understand that's a bold statement.

They want to cut $880 billion from the Medicaid program. Elon Musk has said Social Security, of course, is the big one. That’s the big target that they’re aiming for, and they are hollowing out all kinds of federal agencies and departments that the American people depend on, like NIH, which does the cutting edge medical research. And it’s now got swept up in their whole anti-science crusade. Same thing with, you know, the FAA.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) celebrated Tesla‘s declining stock while speaking to a Wisconsin crowd on Tuesday. Walz was in the state for a campaign event on behalf of Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford. The event was in Eau Claire, which is Rep. Derrick Van Orden’s (R-WI) district. The winner will determine a liberal or conservative majority in the state’s highest court. Crawford is running against Brad Schimel, who received campaign donations from PACs funded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This connection, which became the main theme of Crawford’s recent campaign ad, prompted Walz to mention the company.

During an episode on ABC’s The View on Tuesday, Schumer spoke about the recent government spending bill, which President Donald Trump recently signed. As Breitbart News previously reported, Schumer explained that he voted in favor of keeping the government open because a “Republican Senator told Democrats the plan was to ‘decimate the entire federal government.”

"Congress has the authority to strip jurisdiction of the federal courts to decide these cases in the first place. The sabotaging of President Trump’s agenda by ‘resistance’ judges was predictable — why no jurisdiction-stripping bills tee’d up at the onset of this Congress?" DeSantis wrote in a Wednesday post on X.
